Cognizant has entered a new stage of its strategic partnership with Google Cloud, shifting focus from basic platform integration to full enterprise-scale execution. With this move, Cognizant aims to help organizations successfully operationalize agentic AI in real-world business environments, turning advanced AI capabilities into measurable outcomes.
Building on the recently announced collaboration around Gemini Enterprise adoption, Cognizant is now combining internal deployment, commercial rollout, and scaled delivery investments. As a result, the partnership is moving beyond experimentation and toward practical implementation that supports business productivity and long-term transformation.

As part of this next phase, Cognizant has made significant investments in deploying Google Workspace along with Gemini Enterprise across its own enterprise operations. The goal is to improve employee experience, accelerate delivery timelines, and boost productivity throughout the organization. By first implementing these tools internally, Cognizant is creating a proven blueprint it can replicate for clients.
At the same time, Cognizant plans to introduce a new productivity offering in the market that unites Gemini Enterprise with Google Workspace. This solution will help clients transition from manual, disconnected processes to more streamlined, AI-driven workflows. Key use cases include collaborative content development, improved supplier communication, and automation of repetitive tasks.
“This partnership reinforces Cognizant’s position as an AI builder, a new kind of services partner focused on creating purpose-built, enterprise-grade solutions that drive real business outcomes,” said Annadurai Elango, President, Core Technologies and Insights, Cognizant. “Cognizant brings together the optimal combination of people and technology, including proprietary IP and deep services expertise, to build industry-specific platforms, embed context into systems, and co-create agentic solutions tailored to each client’s business.”
To ensure delivery at scale, Cognizant is also launching a dedicated Gemini Enterprise Center of Excellence. This initiative will strengthen repeatable deployment models and support consistent adoption across large enterprises. Cognizant will operationalize these efforts through its Agent Development Lifecycle (ADLC), integrating AI directly into every stage of the development process, from design to production rollout.

“Our partnership with Cognizant brings together advanced AI technology and deep industry expertise to help enterprises operationalize agentic AI,” said Kevin Ichhpurani, President, Global Ecosystem and Channels at Google Cloud. “Together, we are enabling organizations to deploy enterprise-ready AI solutions that deliver real business impact.”
Furthermore, Cognizant is leveraging tools such as Cognizant Ignition, powered by Gemini, to speed up discovery and prototyping while strengthening client data foundations. Through Cognizant Agent Foundry, clients can access no-code tools and pre-built solutions for high-impact use cases, including AI-driven contact centers and intelligent order management.
With a growing global team of Gemini-trained experts, Cognizant will continue scaling delivery across agentic coding programs and Google Distributed Cloud initiatives. These capabilities will also be showcased through Cognizant’s Google Experience Zones and Gen AI Studios.
Overall, Cognizant and Google Cloud are presenting a practical and execution-ready model for enterprise adoption of agentic AI. By moving beyond platform selection toward governance, scalability, and measurable results, this strengthened partnership positions Cognizant as a key builder and operator of next-generation AI systems.
